  •     Thunder boomers every day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, sometimes at night.   Lots of rain, St. Augustine is very green, and the internet/cable providers are busy with blown out systems.   Beautiful at the beach after work and a swim in time to beat the rain!     Life…

  •       There's something about a sandbar that beckons you to come out past your comfort zone, to tempt the tide and time, just a little farther, a little longer… all will be well. Promise!         Matanzas River, between the inlet and the fort, reprinted from LainesBlog, June 2013.
